Embodiment Construction

[0028] The present teachings provide systems for selectively threading holes in bone plates, including devices, methods and kits, to form threaded holes during installation of a bone plate (ie, while performing a surgical procedure). These systems may allow the surgeon to independently choose between threaded and non-threaded engagement with the fasteners for the different holes of the bone plate, so that each fastener may be individually locked to the bone plate or not. Locks to plate. Also, these systems may allow the surgeon to select the angle at which the fastener engages the bone plate and bone by allowing the holes to be tapped at the selected angle.

[0029] figure 1 An exemplary system 10 is shown for tapping a hole (or holes) of a bone plate during a surgical procedure. Among other things, the system may include: (1) a tapping device 12, (2) a bone plate 14 having one or more holes 16, and (3) a tapped and / or non-tapped hole in the bone plate. Received fasteners. ...

A system includes devices, methods, and kits for selectively tapping holes in bone plates to form threaded holes during installation of the bone plate (ie, during a surgical procedure).

Description

[0001] Cross Reference to Priority Application [0002] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 480,529, filed July 22, 2002, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein as refer to. Background technique [0003] The human skeleton is made up of 206 individual bones that perform a variety of important functions, including support, locomotion, protection, storing minerals, and forming blood cells. These bones can be divided into two categories: axial bones and appendicular bones. The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones that make up the body's center of gravity, and the appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones that make up the appendages of the body. The axial bones include the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum, and the appendage bones include the long bones of the upper and lower extremities, and the clavicles and other bones that connect these long bones to the axial bones. [0004] B...
